I believe that every person has an optimal way in which they learn. Ideas that seem complicated can be made easy by simply changing the way in which it is presented. As a teacher it is important for me recognize how my students best learn and use that to present material. I also believe that students need to feel comfortable with their teachers. That is why I make an effort to get to know my students on a personal level. Knowing the things that are important to them helps to make a connection and can motivate them to learn. I have always had a passion for helping others learn. In high school I tutored students from different schools in math. After graduating with two bachelor's degrees from the University of Minnesota I began working full time as a financial analyst for Target Corporation. At the same time, I started teaching part time at a learning center. In the past three years I

Having attended higher learning institutions for over 6 years, my drive for more education is apparent. Throughout my experiences, not only have I been tutored, but have tutored my peers in mostly math and sciences. I have developed my speaking and writing abilities through my own employment experiences and feel that I have what it takes to teach and train individuals manual labor skills as well as mathmatical skills and abstract thinking and problem solving skills to help them understand concepts and apply them to a task. I believe that people learn in different fashions. For example, I feel that some concepts may be better explained with tangible objects while other concepts are learned better when questioned and discussed. By exploring the different ways of learning we can find what works best for that individual and use that method as a tool for their understanding. I feel, in the pa

I worked as a camp counselor for 3 summers, and understand that everyone has different learning styles. Personally, I am a visual learner, and I understand that when teaching lessons it is important to incorporate all aspects of learning: touch, sound, visuals, etc. I am energetic and creative and would rather do hands-on activities to drive the lesson home than to sit and memorize lists forever. Since I have a deep understanding of the English language from my Greek studies, I can help students remember the meanings of words with creative mnemonic devices. My college classmates appreciated my input when it came to test time! Attending a private liberal arts college taught me to push myself to be the very best I could be. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Classics with an emphasis on Greek, and a minor in English. I tutored for a January term Beginning Greek class, as well as whenever stude

I began teaching at a very young age. I began my own music lesson company which taught basic level of piano, guitar, saxophone and voice lessons out of my house before I began high school. After achieving my certificate of proficiency in Spanish from Hamline I then began to also privately tutor Spanish. I also have earned my TEFL/TESOL certificate and will eventually go abroad and teach English overseas. I have worked mainly with children, but enjoy teaching all ages. I tend to take a systematic approach and keep my lessons structured. I like to have students keep some sort of record of their practice time, as well as their progress. I also am a strong believer in making learning fun, so I try to listen to my students' needs and pay attention to their learning styles so I can create activities that they will not only find educational but fun as well.

My teaching style is one of real life applications, fun, and making it understandable. For example, when discussing slope, we can study downhill skiing or rooftops. When solving equations, I approach it from unraveling a number trick. I prefer to coach students on how to approach problems, and design which questions to ask themselves, rather than memorizing a list of techniques whenever possible. My funny and outgoing style blends well with all learning styles and personality types. 10 Years of teaching Math experience at the Junior High and Senior High level. I taught Basic Standards Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and ACT Test Prep. Through my Master's Coursework, I integrated the Cognitive Tutor which was a computer program that assisted with the thought process in problem solving. Through the 5 years that I used it, students' interest in Math had risen whil

I am a college grad who has tried different careers from tech support,tennis coaching ,elementary education. I was just laid off from my tech support job and planning to get back into the education field. I have a strong Spanish background since both parents are of Cuban descent and my dad was a Spanish professor. I am also a former college tennis player and I do a lot of coaching on the side including coaching my own daughter. I also have taken elementary education and have done a practicum. However, I am planning to get a special ed license and hopefully use my Spanish skills as well. I have always had teaching in the back of mind when I was a tech support analyst. I enjoy teaching tennis to kids but would like to combine it with some classroom teaching in either Spanish or Special Education. I am very patient but also encourage kids to strive and believe in themselves. I have coache

I have a very communicative teaching style with languages, where it is important for the student to hear and speak the language as much as possible to learn it better. I also actively teach memory tricks (mnemonic devices, songs, etc) to help with memorization. I am very patient. I am always working to find ways to teach to students with different abilities, in my own classroom, as well as during my year's experience as a teaching assistant in a Special Education department of a local high school. I am a licensed MN French teacher. I speak near-native French. I taught ELL to French children and adults in Paris for 4 years, and in the US have taught ELL and French to kids from the ages of 5-18, and also have taught adults in community education programs. I am happy to work with your student to target speaking, writing, memorizing vocabulary, understanding grammar... I offer the advan

I am in the Education field to make a difference in student’s lives. I hope to do this through instruction and example. I believe these two elements intertwined and essential for any educator. I am value the “Teacher as facilitator” education model. Today, I classify my teaching style as a constructivist theory with humanist elements. I believe that a combination of these three models will ensure the greatest amount of learning for students as I prepare them for further education. In my experience, working with at-risk, failing, or youth in general requires a level of acceptance from the student. Educators cannot reach that level if they talk down to their students. I feel I am able to bridge that gap and reach students on a personal level. I will graduate from the College of Saint John’s University this spring with a major in English Education. Classes I have taken at CSB/SJU include ex

In a one-on-one teaching situation, I like to begin with a needs assessment followed by setting up an individualized learning plan with student and parental input. This would include specified milestones and learning objectives. I am patient and organized, and I like to incorporate a variety of teaching methods to accommodate different learning styles. Learning another language can be fun and rewarding given the right circumstances. Following five years of teaching high school Spanish, I continued teaching others by volunteering as an English as a Second Language tutor and later transitioning into corporate learning and development where I now design and deliver customized training to adults. I've continued to use Spanish as our daughter attended a Spanish Immersion elementary school, during which time we hosted three teaching assistants from Latin America.

I embrace a unique passion for teaching children, especially for working with students on a one-on-one basis. I thrive on connecting with each student as an individual, and enhancing their academic lives in ways they may not get in other environments. I strive to "find" every child's gift, and celebrate it. I observe the strengths and weaknesses of each student, and work with the teaching team and parents to determine steps in building on each identified success and/or challenge. My dream is to forever work with children in an effort to provide them knowledge, safety, consistency, and love. I designed and taught a first-ever prekindergarten program at St. Anne School in Somerset, WI. I also directed and taught children's programs with the YMCA for children age birth through prekindergarten, having received the YMCA Focus Award for Excellence in Children's Programs.
